Company Introduction
This children’s charity was established in 1992 and registered as a Non-Governmental-Organisation in England. Their purpose is to help disadvantaged Vietnamese children to get an education and a fairer start in life.
Their programmes aim to help the most disadvantaged children of Vietnam to escape from poverty through education and training. Their area of operation is in the south of Vietnam, around Ho Chi Minh City, extending to the Cambodian border and down into the Mekong Delta.
Their Philosophy:
They believe that a measured amount of carefully targeted help from us can make all the difference. By focusing on the educational needs of the most disadvantaged children they are able to achieve positive change. They measure their results in the numbers of children going to school, graduating from school, going on to university and those finding decent jobs.
Since their inception they have followed certain guiding principles:
– They help only the children in greatest need.
– They foster independence and avoid creating dependency.
– They never replace the responsibility of parents, the authorities or the child.
Our key activities include:
– Building Schools Programme
– Getting Ready For Work Programme
– Child Development Scholarship Programme
